My only point was that you don't need to resort to hyperbole to describe how bad Trump did

And beyond that the president could have been an epidemiologist with a prescience mutation and we still would never have been anywhere near SK's infection and mortality rates unless you were ok with federal police black bagging people on the streets without masks

Yes, isn't it a good thing that the police weren't black bagging people into unmarked vans on the streets of America... :nallears:

Anyways, I'm sure if Trump had used executive power to rollout a testing capacity of >60M per day, dedicated contact tracing, and targeted quarantines that :barf:

I don't disagree. In fact I think the only person that could have had a shot at going both infection rates and mortality rates down is a mythological version of Trump with a shard of human empathy.

Any president had the opportunity to prepare hospitals and roll out testing, Trump just chose not to. But while the people wearing masks now were always going to do it regardless of Trump or Hillary or Bernie, only Trump had a prayer of getting the "MUH FREEDOMS" crowd to wear them more consistently. He just chose not to.

But as long as America is divided into this level of political tribalism we were always hosed

And no way John was standing that close to the explosion, he's a flinchy person.

You don't see him in the wide shot, but he could be walking away much further out and they compress it with the proper lens so it looks like he's right there (and a really deep depth of field so it's all in focus). Pretty standard film technique for this sort of work.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
If anyone's interested, John was on Seth Meyers' show yesterday, where he talked about the filming of the explosion:

He also talked about the Adam Driver bit and the story behind it:

Some pringles flavors actually are really good, but most of them really suck

Like the Thai sweet chili ones? Mint. The blueberry and hazelnut flavor is incredible

They're just also obsessed with making tons of crap flavors

I don't think you can arrive at a flavour like blueberry and hazelnut without a lot of experimentation, so the two are pretty much inherently linked.

Because a few years ago their marketing team hit on the idea that if they release a ton of different flavors they could sell people on the idea of combining to make their own. That way they can sell 2-3x as many chips to the same amount of people.

Plus they're more like an air fried cracker than a chip

The best crisps I've found in America are called "Zapp's Voodoo heat"

Not sure what flavor they're even supposed to be, kind of like a cross between salt&vinegar and barbecue? They're kettle fried too. Really good

zapps is great, yes. I'm pretty sure that's just hot sauce flavor, like tabasco, or siracha

Because we’re bad at pronouncing non-English words and worse at taking any criticism of our speech

You sure it was Voodoo Heat? They make an Evil Eye flavor that's creole seasoning and ketchup flavored and is a farsight tastier than the combo would appear at first glance.
